That's true, but for the money one could buy a say K-3, a 600mm a 1.4x
converter, a very sturdy tripod, and have about a thousand dollars left
over, to have a nice print of about 2 feet by 3 feet made and custom
framed, after which you've got the camera and lens to start a
photography hobby or become a voyeur, whichever...

Yes, but the photographic advantage that puts Lik well ahead of the
rest of us is a large scale production facility, and storefronts with
many persuasive sales people.

That photo doesn't even look like an eclipse, more like a normal half moon.
Not particularly artistic either. Something any of us here could do with
$3K worth of lens camera body and tripod.

Found another link, with suggested retail price and all. Interesting bit
of silliness in its own right.

... or rather the photo title.
While looking at the moon photos of Peter Lik, I've found one
more photo that I suspect to be fake. Well, not the photo itself, but
what
it claims to be.
http://www.lik.com/thework/clouds-skies-stars/lunareclipse.html
This one is titled "Lunar eclipse". My claim is that it is not an
eclipse.
Rather, it is just one of the lunar phases.
An eclipse is a shadow of the Earth. So, the dark-light boundary has a
circular shape, not a straight one as here.
The straight line is consistent with the light source (sun) being
on the right, at about 90 degrees.
See lunar eclipse photos here:

(you'd need to "click-scroll" to the right to #4, 5, 7)

I wonder what PDML astro-enthusiaststs think about that?
